About Mae

Mae Lu is a Canada-born, So-Cal-raised Asian American 30 Something, living a dream with her hubby & dog in the magical kingdom of Hawaii.

This red-lipstick aficionado designs websites for a living and runs a fledgling lifestyle YouTube Channel in her spare time. On the weekends, if she's not filming, you can find her behind the lens of her Sony A6000, shooting scenery in Hawaii, hiking the hills and ridges of her beloved island home, or chasing the perfect sunset.

Why "thereafterish."? Because "and they lived happily ever thereafter" is just half of every story, and this is mine.

How I should feel on my wedding day. And I did, except for the leggy part. Because, hey, I got married in a fucking castle.

Those gowns… shit. Damn. Yum.

Cream of the crop LBDs.

My favourite Fierce Black Dress.

This was my real wedding dress, with real heels and sneakers, in a real castle… so it’s not as if I didn’t get an effing dream:
